AUTOMOBILE HEATER Application filed December 11, 1926, i Serial No. 154,070.

A further object is to usemore efficiently,

the exhaust gases of an automobile for heating. 1

A further object is to provide a -l1eate-r that will not-leak gas nor emit odors.

Other objects and advantages of my invention will appear and besbrought out in the tollow ing specification and drawings in which: a

Fig. l is a centralsectionalsideeleva-tion of an embodiment of the invention,

Fig. 2 is a top view of the same, and;

Fig. 3 a cross sectional elevation taken along line"3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring more 'ip'articularly to the drawings, I show a heater having a bottom 1, sides 2, ends 3 and top 4, all securely fastened together as by bolts '5, made of metal.

Top 4 is provided with apertures 6 through which the heat may be given out while the bottom 1, sides 2 and ends 3 are covered on the inside with a layer 7 of nonconducting material preferably asbestos also secured to those members by bolts 5. A canopy shaped member 8 is also secured Wltl1- in the heater to hottom 1 and forms a gas conducting chamber 9 with, the bottom 1 and an air chamber 10 with the walls and llllember 8 preferably comprises a continuous piece ofmetal and forms a gas tight connection with bottom 1.

Bottom 1 is further-provided with apertures 11 through which project the ends of pipe 12 and 13, the latter being secured in place by flanges- 14 having grip bolts 15. Within chamber 9 and also secured to bot-- tom 1 by bolts 16 are baiilesl'? which are provided with apertures 18.

ipes l2 and 18' are connected to the e haust pipe of the automobile and lead the hot gases into and out of the heater, which gases in passing around and through baffles 17 give out heat which is conducted through ,cured 1 to, said and preferably member charged with warm dll which circulates out throughtopapertures ,6 and heats the sur As will readily be'seen, the

rounding space. heater occupies btlllSllltlll space and can be idily installed onlh-efioor of an automo- '8. Chamber 10 thus becomes v "bile orhther convenient and/out of the way place. engine j exhaust plicity of construction results in an economical heater, which permits inexpensive manuliacture. i i f I It will ,be understood that changes and be made without departing front the spirit ofthe invention. i

; Swan M -e In :1 device of the c'las s specified the combination oi an elongated base'member,

ends thereof, pipes securedin said apertures, battles in saic chamber, said battles being sebase fmember and extending transversely ot said chamber, said battles having apertures therein, wall members secured to said basemeinber andhaving heat resisting material on the inner sides thereof, and an apertured top member securedto and f The heat being supplied from the gases, there s greater-tilt; money. and nocost of operation and the snna cover. member forming aheating chamber, heat resist ng mater al on said base member, apertures in said base member ad acent the forming a radiation chamber with said wall members.

2. In a device of the class specified, a shell or casing forming an elongated heating chamberhaving a gas inlet and outlet, bafg fies arranged transversely of said heating chamber betweenthe inlet and outlet, said baffles being extended to the bottom of the. casing at (their-flower ends and terminated below the top of the casing attheir upper ends, so as to form a heating passage immediately below the top ofthe shell or casing. i

device of the class specified, a

shell'or casing forming air-elongated heating chamber having a gas inlet and outlet, bafiles arranged transversely of said heating chamber between the inlet and outlet, said bafiles being extended to the bottom of the casing at their lower ends and terminated below the top of the casing at their upperends so as to form a heating passage immediately below the top of the shell or casing, said bafiles having apertures for permitting part of said gas to pass through and heat said l. In a device of the class specified, a shell or casing forming an elongated horizontally arranged heating chamber having a gas inlet and a gas outlet, said shell or casingcontaining vertically arranged bail'les whose sides are spaced from the sides of the shell or casing, so as to form heating passages between said bafiles and the sides of the shell or casing.

5; In a device of the class specified a shell or casing forming an elongated heating chamber provided with a gas inlet and a gasoutlet, said shell or casing containing transversely arranged ballles located between the gas inlet and outlet and all having their upper ends spaced from the top of the shell or casing to form a heating passage between said battle upper ends and said shell or casing top.

6. In a device ot' the class specified, a shell or casing forming an elongated heating chamber having a gas inlet and a gas outlet, said shell or casing containing bafiles all of whose upper edges are below the top of the shell or casing so asto form a heating passage between said battles and said shell or casing 'top, said bafiles being provided with apertures.

7 In a device of the class specified a shell or casing forming an elongated heating chamber having a gas inlet and a gas outlet, said heating chamber containing transversely arranged battles between the inlet and outlet. said bafiles having their upper edges spaced from the top of the shell or casing and their side edges spaced from the side walls of the casing.

S. In a device of the class specified a shell or casing forming an elongated heating chamber having agas inlet and a gas outlet,

said heating chamber containing transversel v arranged battles between the inlet and outlet, said battles having their upper edges spaced from the top of the shell. or casing and their side edges spaced from the side walls of the same and being provided with apertures.

9. In a device of the class specified, the combination of an elongated shell or casing forming a heating chamber and having a gas inlet and a gas outlet and transversely arranged baflles located in said shell or casing and mounted on the floor thereof, said battles having their sides spaced from the sides of the shell or casing and their tops spaced from the top of thecasing.

IOJIn a device of the classspecified, the combination of an elongated shell or casing forming a heating chamber and having a gas inlet and a gas outlet and transversely arranged battles located in said shell or casing and mounted on the floor thereof. said baffles having their sides spaced from the sides of the shell or casing and their tops spaced from the top of the same and being provided with apertures.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed inv name this seventh day of Decemher, A. D. 1926.
